Densha Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The eyes look great, but the headmark looks awful with that lightning. Link to comment
Kabutoni Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 MA headmarks look too bright without a sticker installed, but sometimes also WITH sticker. They should tone up their plastics a bit. Link to comment
John k Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Well, in truth, the Irodori has a choice of three stickers for the blank window, and i hadnt chosen which one i wanted to install because i didnt know until i put it on the rails how bright that light was....the brightness almost drowned out her eyes! I will have to choose one before i break her out for the next show.... Link to comment

I bet the squid, crab and fox bears much attention to the show~ Link to comment

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi John, I see you are using the Kato expansion track to join your modules. How is that working for your club? The club I belong is just starting to modify our modules to accept the Kato expansion track to make set up go quicker. Spiff Link to comment
John k Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Spiff> They seem to work pretty well. Right now we only have the set-up/front yard in Kato track......we plan to upgrade the rest of the track on the modules to KATO as we move along, but that will be a long-term project dependent upon club funds, Unitrack availability, and available time/labor.

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 John, our track is all regular flex track. We were using straight 5 inch snap track to join the modules. It was very time consuming at shows for the set up. We spend hours just putting in rail joiners :-(. As a club we our taking the plunge and adding short Kato straight sections to the flex track so we can use the expansion track to join the modules. It certainly isn't cheap as we have 115 sections of track to modify not counting the yard. The yard will need another 48 or so if we decide to do it. Good thing we get good pricing from Locohobby :-) Spiff Link to comment
